Spring / Summer Overshoes

Hi Guys,

Any recommendation for good, inexpensive overshoes that are light, snug fit and waterproof? Something for commuting in the coming months in all weather on long-is distance.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Are they reasonably waterproof and not too bulky / not too warm?
It would help if they are durable enough

I just got a pair of these a couple of weeks ago in Wheelworx. About €23, and they are pretty good if you ask me

these are the ones I got. They are not waterproof, but there is a waterproof version on the shelf beside them

They are. I use them all year round. They are a bit thin for the winter, but I have another pair of thin non-waterproof ones I wear underneath to keep the cold out.

I had the BBB ones before and they kept slipping off the front, which annoyed me no end. I now use LOOK ones which I've almost battered to death but still working. With waterproofs you can just stick a decent pair of socks on and for me, just keeping the wind off my feet is enough. Kilkenny cycles stocks BBB stuff.
